SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg base in California and caused confusion and speculation among people who have published many photos on social networks, including asking if they are visited by aliens.
Launch of the missile was planned for 17.27 on Friday, according to TechCrunch. The goal of the mission was to send ten satellites to Earth's low orbit for Iridium Satellite Communications.
The founder of the company, Elon Musk, responded to the reactions through a missile video launch and a joking message: "North Korea's nuclear extraterrestrial UFO."
This is the 18th launch of SpaceX this year.
